Police Brutality Reports from #M17 at Zuccotti Park

There were multiple reports of police brutality and violence being used against protesters and members of the media on March 17, 2012 at Zuccotti Park in New York. Here are some tweets and videos about that from my Twitter feed tonight.

Glass was broken on an NYU building at 55 E. 10th Street when NYPD officers shoved someone who is reportedly an OWS medic named Jose. (His name was given via @dontbeaputz.) Many photos of the smashed door made it to Twitter tonight -- here are two, as well as a fuzzy video (filmed secondhand via @OWSNYCLive's UStream account).

The result was a newly broken door at 55 E. 10th Street. (Video confirms that the door was not broken prior to the arrest happening in front of it. Its not clear, however, that the protestors head was what cracked the pane, as was widely disseminated on Twitter tonight)
